I’ll give an honest review though with no bias (may contain spoilers).
This book is 800 pages, yet I read it in two days because I have to admit - it is pretty addictive. There’s no spice but there is a lot of vulgar talk (and I mean a lot, so be warned).
I did really enjoy the beginning of this book, which is why I read it so fast, because it felt relatively realistic and quite cute.
However the closer I got to the end, the more whatpadd-coded (derogatory) it became. There were themes that were continually repeated through this book. For example, Shannon “so small uwu🥺🥺🥺” and johnny “so tall and strong🥺🥺”. Don’t even get me started on the amount of times Shannon walked into a wall of hard muscle 🤦♀️😭. In what world is every teenager boy at school, a walking Arnold Schwarzenegger??
I did love the fact that this book was set in Ireland though, but even though it was entertaining to read, I didn’t love a lot more. One thing that I did quite like was how protective Johnny was, although it got a bit unrealistic and cringe at times.
Also, Chloe Walsh’s writing was nothing special, in terms of language technique and stuff. It was easy to read and entreating, but not special.
Overall, this book was okay and fun to read but could have been better.
